A newborn girl who was born yesterday is diagnosed with a cleft palate. What is the correct ICD-10 code for this case?

Q35.3
Q35.5
Q35.7
Q35.9

Explanation

Answer: D

Here, Q35.9 is the most appropriate ICD-10 code because the specific type of cleft palate is not mentioned. Q35.9 codes for cleft palate, unspecified.

Option A is not correct because Q35.3 is used for a cleft in the soft palate but the specific type is not mentioned.

Option B is not correct because Q35.5 is used for the cleft hard palate with cleft soft palate.

Option C is not correct because Q35.7 is used for cleft uvula which is not the diagnosis here.
